I dont think this will work for him unless he has the vsrallbat.dll or whatever it is from microsoft... (in this case...) but in general yes setuptools is a win

To be honest I just know it from having used easy_install and pip a lot and they don't include version numbers - just easy to remember names. In case you do need to use a version number, it's easy as easy install scipy==0.9 (pseudo version number)

@JoranBeasley Ah, the dreaded vcvarsall.bat error. Yeah, sometimes it messes you up. But easy_install works a lot better than pip on Windows for some reason
